Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silver is among the most magnificent of antiques. The collector may view his specimens as works of art, fragments of history, or ever-appreciating investments, but their universal appeal lies in their intimate association with the day-to-day details of living; the kettle and salver, the salt-cellar and candlestick. All were designed to be used. The authors trace the development of domestic silver from 1500-1820. Each chapter concentrates on a specific article as the course of its production is described and explained. Each element in this process from the design, through ornamentation, and finally to the manufacturing technique itself, combined to produce a distinctive result which is recognisable as belonging only to the period in which it was created. This book is a practical guide to recognition and identification for the non-expert. Every detail is accompanied by a line drawing and the whole chronological sequence of each item is clearly set forth. The section on hallmarks will prove of particular interest to those who have been mystified by the minute stamps and have always wondered at their meaning. This is an invaluable guide to anyone with an interest in silverware.

Download or read book English Irish Scottish Silver at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute written by Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute and published by Hudson Hills. This book was released on 1997 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stunning catalog, Wees, curator of decorative arts at the Clark Art Institute, shares her extensive knowledge of silver. Robert Sterling Clark, who established the Art Institute in 1955, preferred Huguenot silver? especially that of Paul de Lamerie? so his collection, which contains typical objects from the early 16th to the mid-20th centuries, is especially rich in 18th-century examples. Wees arranges this collection according to general function ("Dining," "Lighting," etc.) and prefaces each chapter with exhaustively footnoted essays. She accompanies each item with crisp black-and-white photographs, a wealth of description, and helpful commentary. Analogous to Kathryn Buhler's standard catalog of American silver in Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, this is a wonderful tool for researching makers and hallmarks, comparing stylistic elements, or just marveling at the beauty of an extraordinary collection. While not intended to be a historical compendium, this informative, visual feast belongs in all silver reference collections and will also certainly appeal to individual collectors. 19 colour & 1,222 b/w illustrations
